      Grazer AK, the runner - up of the Austrian Bundesliga, has a wealth of European competition experience, having participated in the UEFA Champions League group stage for five consecutive years.

Since the new domestic season hasn't started, they have no league games to drain their players' energy and can focus all their efforts on this European tie. In the summer transfer window, Grazer AK had a good run in friendlies. In six warm - up matches, they won four, drew one, and lost one, scoring a total of 19 goals. They've also won their last three matches, including convincing victories over Hiroshima Sanfrecce and Kärnten.

      Graz Storm adopts an attack - based system centered around possession and passing. In the midfield, the ball rotation and conduction are smooth and well - organized. The transition between offense and defense is crisp. They are good at steadily controlling the ball to wear down the opponent's physical strength and take charge of the game rhythm. The team's passing success rate has remained steadily above 80% for a long time. The key passes in the front - field are coherent, and the set - piece attacks are closely combined with open - play attacks. The offensive tactics are rich and diverse. However, the concentration of their defense fluctuates under high - intensity confrontation. When they are at a significant disadvantage in close - range tackles, the number of mistakes in passing the ball from the back - field increases, and the overall margin for error in the game decreases slightly. Hartlepool United centers its tactics on a tough midfield battle. The players show high enthusiasm

      The team's lineup has several key absences. The main midfielder, Chukhvani, is serving a red - card suspension. Defenders Lavare and Borkovic, as well as the substitute forward Beganovic, are injured. This has damaged the midfield's defensive strength and the integrity of the defense, while also limiting the team's substitution options. Last season, the team finished as the league runner - up. In recent European competitions, their performance has been inconsistent. In ten games, there has been an obvious imbalance between attack and defense. They rarely kept a clean sheet on the defensive end, showing a lack of stability under pressure. At home, they are good at passing and advancing in the middle and front fields. They rely on their midfield core to organize and create offensive threats. The core midfielder, Khetishvili, has been in excellent form recently, with both goal - scoring and assist capabilities.
